The "Little Patriot" Collection

We've had some cold days here in Virginia with some late snow flurries but it is finally starting to feel warm and we are looking for our late spring into summer collections. We love the "Little Patriot" collection. Light and airy seersucker in red gingham check and red, white and blue stripes transitions beautifully from spring to summer. Perfect for kicking around the beach, crabbing in the bay, visiting the Grandparents at the golf resort or a picnic in the park these easy pieces go any where you want to go. Sets include a ruffled diaper cover. Custom inquiries are welcome.

The "Little Patriot" collection features sweet Red, White and Blues for Patriotic Celebrations. Applique and RicRac add to the design and no two pieces are exactly alike.

Item number WTRWBLP references the entire collection

Cutie-pa-Tootie Shorts with Ric-Rac

I made some fun shorts with this red, white & blue fabric for my girls to try out the pattern. Added a rolled hem & some ric-rac. People loved them. So I made up a few more and took them to Sugar & Spice on Richmond Road in Williamsburg. Sugar & Spice specializes in consigning gently used children & maternity clothing (and additional items. strollers or cribs for example) But the store owner agreed to show some of Whigs & Tories pieces too.

ric-rac trim is super cute!

The Cutie-pa-Tootie shorts can also be found on Etsy. I have enough red, white & blue fabric to take one or two custom orders for sizes not shown (up to size 10).

The Bitsy Bubble in Red, White & Blue

Bitsy Bubble from the back, love those ruffles
criss cross straps snap in front

So pleased with this pattern! It is a sweet vintage Bubble re-released with updated instructions. To be honest, the first run through took forever... but now that I've done it once I hope I will be more efficient the next time.

This is a pretty patriotic fabric, with a water color print, stars and even a little metallic shimmer. As I don't have very much this is not a preorder piece. First come, first serve on this one. The pattern is designed to fit a little girl size 21-24 lbs. to purchase please visit our Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/shop/WhigsandTories

Memorial Day brings out the Patriot

It is Memorial Day. I come from a military family so we take the day to get together and honor those who have died in service. Which inevitably leads my mind to the next big celebration in my military family, the Fourth of July. Which also happens to be my dad's birthday. So here at Whigs & Tories we are getting our Red, White and Blue on, baking our cherry pie and feeling grateful. We hope you took a moment today to honor those whose lives have been given for this country.
